Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
I'm an aspiring writer, I love fiction and lately I seem to enjoy more of the disturbing, horror-type things such as child abuse, mental problems, insanity, etc. I have pretty good spelling and I enjoy writing nearly as much as I enjoy readying. And if you want me to beta your story or whatever, I'm a junior in highschool looking for colleges, so I may take a short while getting to beta your story.
Depending on the story and everything, I make exeptions, of course. And you don't have to meet my preferences to the T, either. I'm generally easy-going, actually. |
My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I'm a pretty good speller; I do angst well; I'm constantly trying to improve. Probably some others, too, that I'm not so sure about or don't remember. |
My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
I have a habit of using long, run-on sentences (Because of my style, mostly), and I'm shy. I can't write fight scenes or bloody, violent things. I can't tell all my weaknesses, because I don't know them, or can't remember them. |
Preferred: types of entries I prefer over others
Angst, not sappy stuff. Please, something that isn't horribly written with bad enough grammar and spelling that I can't tell what the words are, or how the story flows. A thought out, interesting storyline would be my favorite. |
Would Rather Not: types of entries I do not want to beta for
Sappy, love-love, romance without a plot. Anything with no apparent plot, actually. Unless there's a good reason, but then, it would probably have some sort of plot. |
